Hi Rick
Simple answer to upset the fewest contesters;
Make 2 new classes
SO NR High power
SO NR Low power
N=any number of radios
Single Op 1 Radio (ONLY 1 RADIO) No spotting radio and
inforce the 10 minute rule to stop the use of the spotting radio
you are going to have cheaters in any class thats life
